WCN 2013 No: 623 Topic: 3 — Stroke Goal achievement of risk factor control for patient with ischemic stroke in the Northern Thailand S. Kosachunhanun, N. Tipayajak, A. Khunkum. Neurology, Chiang Mai Neurological Hospital, Chiang Mai, Thailand; Research Unit, Chiang Mai Neurological Hospital, Chiang Mai, Thailand Background: Stroke causes morbidity and mortality. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the goal achievement of risk factor control of ischemic stroke in the Northern of Thailand. Material and methods: We analyzed the data of the ischemic stroke patients with more than 6 months of onset who regularly followed up during October 2010 to September 2012. The defined goal of the risk factor control was according to ASA 2006, and ADA 2008 in patient with diabetes. Results: Total of 498 patients were enrolled, aged 66± 12.4 years old, and 52.1% were male. The proportion of the patients living in the city is 51.9%. Healthcare scheme has a universal coverage of 53.4%, and civil servant coverage 34.1%. Proportion of patientwith BMI≤ 25 kg/mwas 72%, regular exercise was 61.2%, and quit smoking or never smoking was 87.2%. Control of HT (SBP/DBP in DM vs. Non DM) was 77.6/91.2%, and 61.6/76.8%, respectively. Dyslipidemia; LDL ≤ 100 mg/dl, DM vs. non-DM was 48.1% vs. 44.7% and diabetes; FBS≤ 120 mg% and HbA1C b 7.0% was 50.0%, and 31.3%, respectively. Antithrombotic agents were prescribed in 91.8% of patient. Conclusions: Goal achievement of risk factor control for patients with ischemic stroke in the Northern of Thailand is relatively compatible with data from international studies but there is still a quality gap. These findings will be used to encourage participating hospitals to improvement stoke care. doi:10.1016/j.jns.2013.07.706 Abstract — WCN 2013 No: 650 Topic: 3 — Stroke Transient ischaemic attacks in young adults WCN 2013 No: 650 Topic: 3 — Stroke Transient ischaemic attacks in young adults V.K. Oranskaya, M. Barabanova, L.V. Shagal. Nervous System Diseases and Neurosurgery, Kuban State Medical University, Krasnodar, Russia Background: Transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) are risk factors for the future development of ischemic stroke. Objective: To analyze predisposing factors of TIAs in young adults. Materials and methods: 50 patients with TIA were examined, the 1st group consisted of patients under 30 years old (10%), the 2nd group consisted of 30–40 years old patients (18%), the 3rd group— 40–50 years old (62%). Laboratory and neuroimaging studies were conducted. Results: The risk factors of TIAs revealed in group 1 were: 35% — malformation of cerebral vessels, such as openWillis circle (anterior and posterior trifurcation, posterior communicating artery's aplasia); 20% — sugar diabetes with angiopathy; 20% — non-ischemic cardiac arrhythmias, 10% combined oral contraceptives intake, and 5% hyperhomocysteinemia. In group 2, 46% cerebral vessels malformation, 18% — non-ischemic cardiac arrhythmias, 9% — arterial hypertension (AH) and 9% — cerebral atherosclerosis. In group 3 — 42% AH, 30% — cerebral atherosclerosis, 22% — malformation of cerebral vessels and 6% — nonischemic cardiac arrhythmias. 25% of patients had both atherosclerosis and other risk factors. Patientswith TIA in anamnesis developed ischemic stroke in 60% (group 1), 67% (group 2) and 74% (group 3) of cases. Conclusion: The appropriate screening for cerebral vessels' malformations (as the major risk factor of TIA at the age under 40 years old), atherosclerosis, metabolic disorders and other risk factors is necessary for the TIA's prophylaxis. doi:10.1016/j.jns.2013.07.707 Abstract — WCN 2013 No: 648 Topic: 3 — Stroke Plasma neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin and functional outcome in ischemic stroke WCN 2013 No: 648 Topic: 3 — Stroke Plasma neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin and functional outcome in ischemic stroke T.
